When you opt to have mixed-gender wedding parties, you have more fluidity and inclusivity to choose the people you love most, regardless of identity. It is especially great for queer couples since their loved ones are usually a community that involves people of all identities. Disregarding the gender traditions of a wedding party allows anyone who is important to the couple to be included without worrying about how to follow traditional wedding “rules.”

Raise your hand if you've been told it is "bad luck" for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony. You spend months planning a day together and are expected to have zero communication in the intimate moments leading up to the altar. For some people, that can be incredibly anxiety-inducing. For many couples, future spouses are our place of calm and comfort. They are one of the only people not bringing more chaos than calmness.
